The Philadelphia Press, comprehend
ing fully the significance OF the result
OF the Virginia election, puts down all
the southern States as certain for the
Democratic nominee for President in
1883. This conclusion causes the Ma
tional Rcpu5lican to bristlo like por-
cupine and pat its election calculator to
work. After producing one Of those re-
markable arrays Of figures for which the
RcpuJIcm, is noted, and which prove
nothing at all, our Washington contem-
pOary says:
"But the National RCpubjc0a is not
prepared to admit, in the light of the last
election returns and of what has been
going on for some years in some Of the
southern States. that Democratic can
didate for the presidency will secure the
lj3 electoral votes of tine sixteen south
crn States. Virginia though it has now
elected a Democratic Legislature, Is a
Republican State, and upon q far vote
and q fair count. which the Republicans
intend TO have in the next election its -
votes viii hc given to the Republican
candidate
If the Republicans could carry the
State on a fair vote and Il fair count,
why, pray, did they not carry it in the
last election, when MALONE made one Of
the most desperate fights that have ever
been made in Virginia politics, and the
Democratic victory was So sweeping that
even the little General did not mt first
have the face to cry fraud There can
be no question that had the result
been very close that cry would
have been raised. 1t was on the
programme. But rs things turned
out there was neither use nor ex-
cuse for such a chestnut Coming,
therefore. as it does at this late date, the
Rcpv5Ecqn's implied charge Is to be |
explained only upon one or the other /
IF two hypothesis. Either MALONE, /
having recovered from the shock Of /
his defeat, has inspired the HePubh- (
cans utterances in the hope Of .
thus explaining to his northern allies /
Why he could not keep his contract, or .
the RcpUJHca,,, acting upon its own re-
sponlbiGty and by reason of its sympa- /
thy with the little General, would soften
his disappointment by making him be- /
Iieye he still has another chance i'll the .
political world. If the former be the .
explanation if puts farcical face on the
RcDuJEcan's article. If the latter be
the explanation our Washington contem-
porary is guilty of mistaken kindness.
Nothing could be more cruel than to en-
courage MALONE to come ont Of the po-
litical grave where Virginia has laid him.

(Corrcspondenco Of the Richmond DIspaich.l
NOVEMBER 10, 1887.
The Republicans here arc consohng
themselves by claiming that while the
Democrats have carried the General As
sembly by sweeping majority the State
went Republican on the popular vote.
While claiming this they also admit that
General Malone has been left very se-
vereiy at home. The result of the cleo
ton, it is believed, will encourage the
Independents to make strong and pro
badly successful fight against Senator
Malone in the Republican convention
of next year. At least 1t is claimed that
the General will not be able to control
the Virginia delegation to the national
convention in favor OF Sherman.
The police today arrested a colorcd
woman named Sallie Brown on the
charge of robbery. 1t appears that a
neighbOr of the accused WAS robbed a
day or two ago OF $ll0 in money, and at
the same time deed to certain property
was taken. This deed, it is said. was
found in the prisoners possession,
though none OF the money was recov-
cred.

known who will be appointed to the pas
toral charge of Market-Street church in
place of Rev. j. Wiley Bledsoe, who has
requested to be transferred to another
field on account of the health of his

There is a strong probability that
John NJ. Langston will not be reelected
president of the Virginia Normal and
Collegiate Institute, near this city. His
term of office expires with the present
year, and the Board of Visitors has thus
far declined to elect president, and I'M
less a special meeting is held the term
of office ofthe present incumbent will be
allowed to expire. Langston has asked
for reelection, and the action Of the
board looked as though they wished TO
give him an opportunity to retire.

"Post-oilloes and post-roads are es-
tshlished 10 facilitate the transmission OF
Intelligence. Both commerce and the
postal service are placed within the pow
on of Congress, because being national
in their operation, they should be under
the protecting care of the National
Government.
1.-The powers thus granted are not
confined to the ipstrumentalities of COM
morce or the postal service known or in
use when the Constitution was adopted,
nut they keep pace with the progress OF
the country and adapt themselves to the
new developments of time and circum-
stances. They extend from the horse
with its rider 10 the stage-coach, from
the sailing vessel 10 the steamboat from
the coach and steamboat to the railroad,
aud from the railroad to the telegraph,
rs these new agencies are successfully
brought into use to meet the demands Of
Increasing population and wealth. They
were intended for the government OF the
business TO which they relate at all times
and under al circumstances.
As to the number OF employees it
would require to operate a Government
telegraph we are not concerned. A tele-
graph must be established transmitting
messages throughout the length and
breadth OF the land for ! cent per word,
and if it requires fifty thousand men
and boys TO do the work let MS have
them. The Post-Oflice Department al
ready has more than fifty thousand ser
wants. An increase by fifty thousand
would be an increase of one hundred
and fifty employees to a congressional
district, and each congressional district
has about thirty thousand voters.
There is no other way in which the
telegraph can be made what it ought to
be and what the country needs than by
placing it under Government control.
That fact is the end of argument.

RALEIGH, n. c., November 15.-ln
Mecklenburg county two children OF
Samuel Trotter (colored), aged respec-
lively one year and three years, were
locked up in house by their parents,
who went to work yesterday morning.
A few hours later the house was found
in flames, and both children were burned
to death despite all the efforts of their
parents and neighbors to rescue them.
The sheriff of Wilson to-day brought
to the penitentiary seven convicts, all
negroes, one OF whom was convicted OF
highway robbery and sentenced to ten
years imprisonment. He was captured
in Virginia and brought to this State on
n requisltion.
Rocky Mount Fair, which concludes
the list Of fairs in this State this season,
began to-day.
W. A. Bailey, prominent and well.
TODD citizen of Iredell comfy, is IN jail
at Statesville, having been convicted OF
forgery. He has not yet received SEN
tence. The case attracts q remarkable
amount OF attention.
Thus far seyenty-four of the ninety
six counties OF the State have made re-
ports to the Auditor of the taxable val
ues of their property. In about three
out OF five an increase is shown as COM
pared with last year.
The floods have now all abated, but
there are scenes of devastation on miles
and miles of lowlands. An estimate has
been made by careful men that over 70,
600 acres of farming lands in the county
of Edgecomb were submerged entirely,
and that on 10000 acres of these the
crops were standiug-mainly corn. This
will give an idea OF the general destruc-
ton in the section of the State east of
Raleigh.
The people Of Durham have made
complete arrangements for grand
ceremony at the laying of the corner
stone of their courthouse day after to-
morrow. The Grand Master of Masons
will preside, the Grand Lodge having
been called together. In the procession
viii be Masons, Odd-Fellows, Knights of
Pythias, military, town and county Off
cials, &c. There will be a great number
of mounted men. Captain Bennehan

me that the most recent difficulty in the

view has been partially verified by the
fact that the swelling has been reduced. ,

ABoston telegram says: William Han
son, q lineman of the Salem Electric
Light Company, had a narrow escape.
1t was near lighting-up time, and Han
son was engaged in clearing a broken
limb from the wires on the main circuit.
He had climbed the tree and had
gone ont upon a board resting upon the
branches. In cutting away the impend-
ing limb the branches upon which he
was supported gave way and he fell. In
falling he managed to catch the two
wires. and by resting one arm over one
wire and the other over the Other WIRE
he saved himself from falling and was
suspended in mid.air. 1t lacked but a
very few minutes of the time OF turning
on the current. aud the young man was
in imminent peril of the deadly electric
shock. Superintendent Morrill,, who had
fortunately been with Hanson, reached
the central station, after "A hard run, Just
as the engineer was about TO turn on the

Hanson was soon relieved from his I'M
